Here’s how customers describe how the LOCHBY Field Journal fits into their lives:

"I’ve spilled water and coffee on this. I have thrown in the snow and wedged it between branches. It takes a beating while still looking good. I carry it to work with me every day. It has just the appropriate amount of pockets to hold everything I need for Bible study, work, and note-taking. Truly a work of art." — Jesse O.

“I have to say that the waxed journal cover I have been using gets asked about quite a bit. It not only is a pleasure to use but it’s built like those old school military tents. They could hold up to anything Mother Nature could bring on, I know I spent many a rough night in them. I expect like my 30 year old Filson waxed jacket I will have that journal for many years of writing pleasure.” — Roger B.

But what exactly does a field journal like LOCHBY offer for someone who’s never owned one? Let’s break it down.
